ArticleTitle: "Japan Marks Tsunami Anniversary" Link (copy and paste): http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/11/japan-marks-tsunami-anniversary This article is about the 2-year anniversary of the tsunami tragedy that hit Japan in 2011 and killed almost 19,000 people. People gathered at memorial services and millions took a moment of silence to honor and remember the dead. Although the prime minister Shinzo Abe promised to speed up construction, 30,000 people still live in temporary homes and only 10% of homes have been rebuilt since the disaster two years ago. Constrction is behind due to a labor shortage and a small amount of homes for people to stay in. Shinzo Abe and the people of Japan are working as hard as they can, but it may take decades for Japan to be fully rebuilt.
History Poem The Phoenix Hall rests peacefully; Neither a movement nor a sound; While all the fish are resting; In the old, wise pond That reflects the tower like a mirror.
When everything heard footsteps like the drip! drop! of water. It was a young, thirsty fawn, Not scared at all; At peace.
When the Phoenix Hall rests peacefully; Neither a movement nor a sound.
Life can be an open door
With its many opportunities
But you must open the door
You must find the key
To open the door-
The door of life
Life can be an open door
The door may be tall, short,
thin, wide
No matter the shape or size,
The door is still
The door of life
Saint Paul was one of the most influential people in history. Even though he was born a Jew, he helped form and spread Christianity. Saint Paul ended up being one of the most important figures in Christianity.
Saint Paul was born almost immediately after Jesus’ death. His parents were Roman citizens who made tents by trade. His birth name was Saul. He was educated in Jerusalem. It has been said that on a commission to Damascus to suppress Christianity, he saw a blinding light and heard Jesus speak to him. St. Paul converted to Christianity and began preaching across many countries. He simplified the religion, making it easy for people to convert. His writings were the main influence of the Roman Catholic Church and the New Testament. During Nero’s reign, around AD 66, Rome was almost completely burned down. Paul was [[#|arrested]] and beheaded for this terrible act, which he was wrongly accused for.

History Poem
The Phoenix Hall rests peacefully;
Neither a movement nor a sound;
While all the fish are resting;
In the old, wise pond
That reflects the tower like a mirror.
When everything heard footsteps like the drip! drop! of water.
It was a young, thirsty fawn,
Not scared at all;
At peace.
When the Phoenix Hall rests peacefully;
Neither a movement nor a sound.
Excellent poem. Mr. Chester.

The Open Door
By Marina Sidlow
Life can be an open door
With its many opportunities
But you must open the door
You must find the key
To open the door-
The door of life
Life can be an open door
The door may be tall, short,
thin, wide
No matter the shape or size,
The door is still
The door of life

I didn't know St. Paul's family made tents. I thought he was more powerful than that. Interesting. 4's for both. Mr. Chester.
